We argue that capitalization of school spending into house prices can encourage even childless residents to support spending on schools. We identify a proxy for the extent of capitalization—the supply of land available for new development—and show that towns in Massachusetts with little undeveloped land have larger changes in house prices in response to a plausibly exogenous spending shock. Towns with little available land also spend more on schools. We extend these results using data from school...

...Example: NetOne Inc. expects free cash flows of $5 million each year. NetOne's corporate tax rate is 35%, and its unlevered cost of capital is 15%. The firm also has outstanding debt of $19.05 million, and it expects to maintain this level of debt permanently. What is value of NetOne without leverage? VU = PV(of FCF)= $5mil/0.15 = $33.333 million What is the value of NetOne's equity with leverage? E = VL - D = VU + PV(ITS) - D = VU + TC D - D = VU + D(TC - 1)= $33.333 + $19.05(0.35 - 1) = $20.951 million. Example: A firm has $50 million in equity and $20 million of debt, it pays a dividend of $3 million, and has a net income of $10 million. ROA = Net Income / Beginning Assets ROE= Net Income / Beginning Equity Old Retention Rate = (1-payout policy) New Retention Rate= (1-New Payout Percent) What is the firm's sustainable growth rate? SGR=10/50 (1 - 3/10) = 14% What is the firm's internal growth rate? IGR =10/70 (1 - 3/10) = 10% Example: Sales: 122,800 Cost of Goods Sold: 104,380 Accounts Receivable: 10,900 Inventory: 1,420 Accounts Payable: 22,640 Cromwell Incorporated has the information shown above on its annual Income Statement and Balance Sheet (all numbers shown are in thousands).

Introduction Pilgrim families arrived in Holland in the spring of 1608 and in Plymouth in December 1620. In May 1607, 105 men arrived in Jamestown to establish the first permanent English settlement in North America. While the individuals in both settlements were English, the they were different in many important ways. To fully appreciate our Pilgrim heritage, it is important to understand the differences between Plymouth and Jamestown. This essay identifies major differences and explains how these differences affected the settlements during the first few decades of their arrival. 2.
